.Two styles of burlap stockings， both made with satin at the top..And a few buttons for added detail. Just the change I was hoping for. Check.The stockings were made just like the stockings found here， but I skipped the lining…；…；and then zig-zagged the top. (Which will be covered by the satin later.) Then I used some twine and sewed a loop to the sides for a hook.For 2 of the stockingsburlap pillow cover diy， I created a ruffle by making basting stitches about 1 1/2 inches from each end of a long strip of satin， gathered it in， and then sewed it right to the stocking.

I just used a lighter and melted the edges so they wouldn’；t fray…；..before gathering it all in.For the other 2 stockings， I pleated a long strip of satin， ironed it flat， wrapped it around the top， sewed it closed along the back…；…；.then hand-stitched it to the stocking around the top and bottom to keep it in place. Then I added large buttons to the front. (I used a similar pleating technique here.)And that was it.I think we are officially ready for Christmas to arrive.Well， as far as fun new decor goes.We still have a few gifts to purchase.

Choosing your feature wall is not a decision to make lightly. Wallpaper is the most on-trend way to transform your decor, from a statement wall to an entire room, there is no better way to restyle your interior this season.The wallcovering you choose can make a room appear bigger, warmer, and brighter (or vice versa), and even hide imperfect elements. It is one you are likely to live with for many years, so there are a few things to consider to make sure you will be happy with your choice for years to come. But with such a bountiful abundance of designs to choose from, patterned to plain, muted to multicolours, metallic to textured, holographic to photographic, it is almost impossible to know where to start.Gone are the days of the bright yellow wallpaper that you remember from your grandmothers house. As per today’s scenario, Wallpapers for Bedroom and Living Room are gaining rapid popularity and recognition in the field of interior designing and decoration.Wallpaper is a great way of bringing multiple colours and tones into a room rather than committing to one single paint colour. The wallpaper you choose can make a room appear bigger, warmer, and brighter and even hide imperfect elements. It’s time to give wallpaper another chance as an alternative to paint. Here’s how to choose a wallpaper that will work best in your home.HIDING DEFECTSWallpaper provides us with an affordable and simple way to change the ambiance in a room, to create optical illusions, to hide defects and to give a space a dramatic and distinct look. The key is knowing what color, texture and design to choose.Maybe your walls are cinderblocks and you're tired of looking at them. Deco Window is boasting that this wallpaper is not only durable enough to cover all the unsightly problems with your walls: cracks, paneling and cinderblock but it's paintable too.Choose a textured wallpaper design to detract from uneven walls. A busy pattern will hide a problem best but whether you like the particular wallpaper will have the most influence on your choice.CREATING ORDERIn areas such as the living room or the dining space, you can opt for more graphical designs. Consider only covering one wall with wallpaper and turning it into a focal point. An unpleasant living room wall can be covered to create a stunning feature wall by using texture. Add to it a bit of glamorous gold, like in this home, and the result is eye-catching elegance. Your guests won't ever have a clue of what lies behind all the glitter! Wallpaper is definitely in if you use it in the bathroom. It has become a popular trend to turn the bathroom into a stylish space and to hide its utilitarian side with elegant accent details.THINK ABOUT THE ROOM'S USAGEBefore buying any wallpaper, the first and foremost thing that you need to keep in mind is the room’s usage. Will you use your living-room and bedroom for the same purpose? No, right? If a room has a natural dividing line, such as chair rails, use two different wallpapers, therefore it creates a feeling of height. Then buying similar type of wallpapers will be a wrong decision! Think about how you are going to use the room and what mood you want to create. Wallpaper can have a powerful effect over the way you feel in that room, so it’s important the design complements how your life.CHOOSE APPROPRIATE PATTERNSChoosing the right color for the walls is difficult. When you decide to sue wallpaper, you have a larger palette of colors, patterns and textures to choose from. The wallpaper often adds the finishing touch to a particular space. Small prints add a touch of pattern to the overall background color, forming a subtle backdrop. Mini prints in light, cool colors and fine textures applied to the walls and ceiling create a feeling of more space in a small room. If the mini print is in a warm, dark color, the opposite response occurs. They are often used in kitchens, bathrooms and other small spaces. Even so, the wallpaper should be the first thing to start with when decorating a space. Geometric prints give a greater impression of continuous space when applied to all the walls. They include both plaids and grids. Large geometric patterns can be bold and exciting, while small patterns can be very subtle. CLADDINGCladding is any material used to cover a structure's exterior. Picture a protective layer over a surface like a roof or exterior wall. Just as your skin protects internal bones and organs, cladding protects against the elements and shields against environmental conditions. In construction, cladding, or siding, refers to coating one material with another for aesthetic and functional purposes. Cladding serves as a control feature, protecting the building from the elements. Types of cladding materials include wood, plastic (or vinyl), imitation stone or brick, and metal.MATCHING ACCESSORIES FOR WALLUse matching wallpaper and fabric to create a coordinated look. Tie in other accessories by picking out different tones of the colours used in the wallpaper.What if you are hanging wall art over a sofa, bed or table? Choose a piece of art (or a series) that is the same length as the furniture piece or smaller. Avoid wall decor that is wider than the furniture piece; it looks totally weird.Take note of the preexisting features in your home you can highlight. Architectural details such as crown molding, wooden beams, hardwood floors, built-in bookshelves, and mosaic-tile backsplashes are all worth focusing on.
